Making Life More Affordable for Families - Creating Jobs

The people who have been running Canada promised to put jobs first.

They didn't.

While they stand by, good jobs are disappearing, and many of our jobs are being shipped overseas.

Thousands of hard-working Canadians are struggling to pay the bills and support their families because they are forced to rely on a succession of insecure, low-wage jobs.

We can do better. Every worker deserves a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, respect in the workplace, and a secure pension.

Jack Layton and the New Democrats will act on your priorities at the kitchen table, not just the boardroom table:

We will provide leadership to keep jobs in Canada, encourage innovation, and help you balance your budget by putting a stop to consumer gouging.
We will invest in new energy solutions, affordable housing, and education and training for workers and young people.
We will ensure that opportunities are shared with working families and individuals, not taken away through tax giveaways to those who need them least.

Canadian workers have the ingenuity, work ethic and desire to be successful.

Jack Layton and the New Democrats will ensure that every Canadian can share in our country's opportunities and potential. We will put you and your family first.
